Nigrum Pullum, Roman castellum archaeological site in Zwammerdam, Netherlands
The excavated fort measures 85 by 140 meters and includes four stone gateway buildings constructed with tuff stone near the Rhine riverbank.
The oldest wooden fort at this location dates from 47 AD and was destroyed during the Batavian Revolt in 69-70 AD.
The discovered pottery with inscriptions at the excavation site indicates the presence of Celtic and Germanic inhabitants among the Roman soldiers.
Archaeological investigations between 1968 and 1974 documented the entire castellum layout and portions of the surrounding civilian settlement.
This castellum represents the smallest Roman military fort in the Netherlands, raising questions about its capacity to house 500 soldiers.
Location: Germania Inferior
Part of: Lower German Limes, castellum
